yes, i DO EAT!


the picture our viewer sees to the left is of my arms. specifically, my messed-up right arm. though the scar doesn't really show up in this picture. one might wonder what i am doing in this picture? am i doing a handstand? am in a forward fold letting my arms hang down? am i bending down to pick something up? one may recall a previous metion of being called "hyper-mobile." that means you have joints that bend in both directions. obviously not very much in the incorrect direction, but enough to make yoga a little more difficult for us hyper-mobiles. meaning that when we're in poses such as triangle or any pose where arms and/or legs must be straight, we have to do a "micro bend" so that our limbs are indeed straight. the picture to the viewer's right is of me flying in space. har har just kidding, i just thought it looked cool without seeing the mess that is my room. plus it reminds me of the good ol' days where we'd all put on our goggles and play marco polo in the pool at night. i would go in the deep end and float all the way down and "dance" and do flips and stuff and just watch my shadow on the wall of the pool. so anyway, this is the camel pose; i suppose called thus because the person's chest is supposed to look like the camel's hump? i guess if one stares at the picture for long enough one can see how it isn't difficult to imagine that i am, indeed, flying. all i need is a faerie costume and some wings and there ya go. back to the yoga part of the picture - does anyone know any way to modify this pose so that my arms do not hyper extend? what can i do with my hyper-mobile arms?
